Well the thread says it all: not reproducible freezes of xorg Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.use the new gentoo profile 2005.0 with ipv6 flag included 2.compile with --newuse and so on 3.freeze Expected Results: no lockups After I for the first time experienced the problem and have read the thread my suspicions were that this was ipv6 problem, because i have already had numerous problems with it. I have made a post http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-198023-postdays-0-postorder-asc-start-425.html and the reports to this and my own experience with recompiling the kernel with tcpip6 support showed that the problem is located in this flag. So probably it is desirable to remove it from the profile (as long the problems persist) and to include some warnings on it's use
This thread is just quick workaround to unknown problem. Some ppl say it's the X.org configuration, some others it's ipv6. I've had ipv6 for years on many boxes and I never experienced any lockup caused by ipv6. Also, commenting ipv6 stuff in /etc/hosts is just as useless as removing a unused file. If you have error logs or whatever usefull, reopen this bug but right now I don't have anything usefull to work on and no proof it's a ipv6 problem.
